I got the Midland accent, too. :( I've always been the Southern girl that talks proper, but I just paid attention in English classes.

A lot of Southerners and Atlantans will be surprised when I say I'm born and raised in Atlanta because I don't sound like it. Whatever. :rolleyes: At least I get joy that people outside the South hear my slight Southern accent. :D

I'm sorta "generic" California with a little of my home town, NOLA, thrown in. And we call carbonated drinks "cold drinks". We refer to Barq's Cream Soda as "red drink".

A NOLA accent is different, depending on which part of town you're from. If you're from, for instance, the lower 9th Ward, you'd sound like ersatz Brooklyn. If you're uptown, you have more of a southern drawl.

I'm from the West Bank, but I paid attention in English class and am a former broadcaster (and present podcaster), so I really don't sound like a "yat" (as in, "where y'at?", the standard New Orleans greeting.)

You attract Geeks!

Your stunning intellect and love of sci-fi and video games allures the geeks like nothing else. Maybe it is the sparkle in your eye that makes them want to text you, who knows. Geeks make good partners, but tend to be arguementative. If you are a TRUE geek magnet, you will know if that was spelled correctly, and actually care. If it is a bad-boy/bad-girl you are seeking, you are barking up the wrong tree, unless they are just 'bad' behind a PS2 console.

Sweet, I love my geek :D

Right on the money for me:

Midland accent (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, etc.).

Since I live in Ohio, my accent fits me perfectly.

Although I'm a midwest woman I've been told I have a southern accent.

You attract Yuppies!

You attract the very well-dressed, job oriented type of people. They usually have their finances together, are 'middle of the road' on most topics, generally happy with the 'main-stream' of things. If it is stability you are after, these are good people to attract, if you seek adventure, it may be time for an overhaul.

I like Yuppies, but Yuppies don't like me right now. I haven't dated one in about 6 months, dang it.

I attract Yuppies and this is somewhat true! LOL

Perfect results:
I have a southern accent according to the quiz and second for me was the midland north. Perfect b/c I'm born and raised in the Midwest (Chicago) and Atlanta.
